“Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,”
Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas. The conspiracy that has been building since Matthew 12:14 (when the Pharisees first conspired to destroy Jesus) reaches its formal organization: the chief priests and elders gather in the high priest's palace to plan the arrest and execution. The location — the high priest's palace — communicates the institutional character of the conspiracy.
